The problem isn't What WE SEE, it is What WE can't See, is the problem. Comparing between any other country to American food, one needs to look at the Ingredients, as for Obese people(in all health area's) tends to fall in the ingredients of foods(not what they eat, as we are brain washed into believing in the US), & lack of exercising the body. Research the differences in ingredients tells a whole different picture, while i import my food into America(due to having become ill from the use of chemicals/toxins & lack of knowledge of the hidden GMO's in foods. Kraft, as all food companies, have to change their ingredients to sell the SAME product in another country, because the chemicals here are considered very dangerous to the human body. The human body can not digest chemicals(why Meth, Coke, & all street drugs have an effect on our brain, liver, kidneys, etc, as does the chemicals in American foods.) If one took the moment to look at the difference in ingredients between say Europe & the US, & actually know what the ingredients mean(cause Arsenic is NOT on the label of chickens, but used in another word, in order to confuse us, that sounds less harmful), your see there is more ingredients in the American version, compared to any other country, Not just Europe. In Singapore many of the toxins in our foods, would land a person in prison for or up to 15yrs, because its a poison to the human body, like many sweeteners that are taken for granted here in the US, because we have been brain washed into believing this, like any sugar alcohol, or HFCS, dyes used in candies, are all dangerous to our bodies.
I personally NEVER thought FOOD was making me ill, it sux big time. But having researched what i know, its been a scarey road.
McDonalds FFs are full of chemicals, so are Health bars(with Protein), to most toothpastes & all Generics medicines, even Juices(those aimed more at children are much worse), yet IF you look at the ingredients in Fast foods, to cereals, to all meats(from Animals-Not all meats are from animals in the US, rather scarey fact-Pork being the worse kind for high level of chemicals), or juices, chocolate/candies, bread, yogurts, frozen dough, you name it-they are all full of toxins. Explains why America has the highest in Health care costs(even combining many different countries together). I recently found out why even Organic sugar made me ill(i'm not talking upset stomach, oh dear i'm sick, more like bed ridden for 2wks or more, sick). That floored me, because Organic milk & eggs does not bother me, unless its really NOT organic(as anyone can slap a label on & say its Organic, heck IF FDA can do it why not anybody else). Come to find out, through much research, Unrefined sugar is NOT been imported in, in about 30 yrs. Which means the only sugar here(Even Raw Sugar), is refined sugar, which has been processed. I now import mine in. I buy directly from companies oversea's, as many do not charge S&H on one type of item ordered, plus cutting out all middlemen, cuts the prices much further down. I no longer eat not even half of what i use too, not due to cost(yes, each item might be more in cost), but because i'm eating actual food items, no chemicals or GMO are involved, which are ALL empty food ingredients. My visits to the Dr's are almost none now, i'm no longer bed ridden, yes i have a problem here & there, due to damage to my intestines, but its hoped in time this will heal..... Why Does this happen, well sadly its not to do with YOU or ME, its all to do with, Gov't, FDA, USDA, All the food companies, GMO, making a MINT of us & our Health(or lack of health). Why do you think, countries have stopped or put a hold on importing our goods, because the ingredients are considered dangerous for THEIR people. So what about us?????http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e7aec6da811db2d7c70bbFMSat, 10 May 2014 15:15:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e7aec6da811db2d7c70bb

As the article stated. Most of the kids brought their own lunch, probably because they couldn't afford the price of the school lunches. In the U.S. we have been fortunate enough that most kids eat the school lunches because they are cheap enough that most families can afford them. The lunches are nutritious even though some do not like some of the selections. Some people blame the fat kids on what they are eating but I think the problem is that kids are not as active as they used to be. They spend to much time sitting working their cell phones, computers, watching television ect. rather than going out and playing, running, jumping ect. U.S. citizens ate more meals at home rather than eating out. They are more sedentary sitting watching electronic items when before they did not and were not as obese because of that. We need to get people away fro the electronics and mobile again.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e40cc69bedd137d7c70bdbussejaSat, 10 May 2014 11:07:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e40cc69bedd137d7c70bd
The part where it says "most kids go home to eat" is telling. We give the family an EBT to pay for the food then we buy lunches for a kid./ since most schools start at 8 and they go home at 2 and have lunch at 12, we could easily stop this lunacy and let them eat at home at 2. No school lunch at all. And we all know that when the stomach is full, two things happen depending on the kid. (1) sleep) and (2) hyperactivity. Both are disruptive to school. We learn best when our stomach is not full, just like every other animal learns to hunt because it is hungry. Our school lunch expectations is about not eating for 2 hours and another freebee paid for by the taxpayer for many. We live 1/2 time in the mountains of Costa Rica and they go to school there in shifts. 7-12 and 12-5. So the kids can work in the fields and so they don't have to build more schools. (I look at it as the same rational that started MacDonalds serving breakfast, why waste the building for 1/2 the day) They eat at home. Costa Ricans in our area take their kids seriously and would not let the state feed them. That is Mom's job.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e3f9469beddee757c70c0TideSat, 10 May 2014 11:02:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e3f9469beddee757c70c0
Asking the administration to spend more money on the students is something that will never happen. I work in a school and see it all the time. They would rather spend money on them selves, promoting them selves, employing their friends. Administration cries there's no money but the secret that they not tell is there's no money for the students, administration get what ever they want. They are like the group of popular kids, they form a little click, are stuck up, feel entitled to whatever they want and throw anybody under the bus who represents negative change to their wallet. There is so much wasted spending in schools, and its mostly the administration doing it and continue to because they can't be stopped.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e381fecad04a5237c70b9WhattheSat, 10 May 2014 10:30:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e381fecad04a5237c70b9
The U.S. food doesn't look like that at my school...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e3679eab8ea37797c70bbRobert AverySat, 10 May 2014 10:23:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e3679eab8ea37797c70bb
You should see what kids eat for lunch in Japan. it is a better meal than served in any so called Japanese restaurant in the USA. All of the school have several women and men, fixing fresh meals of miso soup, veggies, salads, fresh fruits and an array of sushi and other dishes. They make the average Bento look small and the kids do not leave hungry. Having just returned to Japan after a 3 week stay in the USA, we found the found taste in the US to be artificial and being used to eating healthy foods in Japan, found we had upset stomachs, stomach ailments and it was from the foods served in US Restaurants and looking at what kids are fed in US Schools, as an example, one school had bags of potato chips, a plain hot dog on a plain bun, or a slice of pizza. Nothing healthy, nothing nutritious and nothing to keep their brains stimulated. I found it disgusting that kids and adults eat such crappy foods and so many Americans do not like veggies or healthy foods and prefer fast foods to healthy diets. No wonder Americans have such fat people. At my last Health Physical, the doctor told me according to Japanese Standards I was fat. I am 6'1 and weigh 190 pounds but do exercise daily and do plan to drop to my age 60 weight of 183 pounds. ( I am now 72 years old and still train in martial arts and work out with weights as I have my whole life. He said according to American Standards I would considered slightly overweight and we both laughed. Americans do not know the meaning of eating healthy.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e2edaecad04ff0a7c70bdwar on webSat, 10 May 2014 09:51:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536e2edaecad04ff0a7c70bd
@Asmi: because, they love misrepresenting India all the time. They can't understand how a country can have 14 official languages, 200+ dialects with almost each state having its own language, festivals, arts, cuisine & traditions yet be one united democratic country....each state has its own meal plan and it is adjusted as per festivals. But the writer wouldn't know it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536da3d96bb3f7093bfc37c3Fedora DavisFri, 09 May 2014 23:58:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536da3d96bb3f7093bfc37c3
I don't think these kids are eating too much. They are eating well-balanced meals (for the most part ) with fresh foods. I would have liked to see other European countries included. Although France looks impressive, I am sure they would measure up to those standards quite well if not better in some cases. In Italy students students who attend the extended day (they stay until 4:00 P.M.) do have freshly prepared meals of restaurant quality. That is primarily elementary schools. When I attended middle school and high school, I was home by 1:30 P.M. That is when I had the main meal of the day with my family. As a high school teacher in South Florida I have seen what school lunches offer. Nothing to brag about.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d7ffd6bb3f73841fc37c0John SFri, 09 May 2014 21:25:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d7ffd6bb3f73841fc37c0

If the students won't eat healthy school lunches they can do what I did on days I didn't like what was being served-bring their own lunches. These kids would probably refuse to eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc. if their parents served them at home. We live in a "fast food nation"-too many people of all ages have unhealthy diets.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d71916da811677bfc37c0Abra007Fri, 09 May 2014 20:23:45 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d71916da811677bfc37c0
What people seem to forget is that other countries don't have spoiled rotten brats that refuse to eat what they are given, because they wan't to eat junk. These kids in other countries are probably grateful for whatever they get. They also don't have the obesity epidemic america has either. If the kids don't eat their food tough poop on them.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d62a46bb3f73e58fc37bfPriscikkaFri, 09 May 2014 19:20:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d62a46bb3f73e58fc37bf
When my kids ate at the canteen in France they were not allowed to have dessert or go to the playground unless the finished their food. Each table had an older student who poured the water and made sure the kids ate. I thought it was a good idea and food did not get wasted.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d50236bb3f72b18fc37bdJames Fri, 09 May 2014 18:01:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d50236bb3f72b18fc37bd
We were all taught about the basic food groups as children , and if you follow the basic food groups guidelines you will alright , maybe , maybe not because the medical profession has created new forms of diabetes over the years , now when you go to the doctor automatically they test you for diabetes and it is because it is a lucrative business ,so the doctors have to keep the ball rolling and bank accounts full of funds . Doctors used to check for all sorts of problems when showed up for your check -up , now they focus on Diabetes and it is not because it is an epidemic ,it is because they are making payments on that new house or new condo or new vacation homes , and Diabetes is a money maker ,it is like a never ending lottery winnings , and they will try to convince you, you have it because they want your money and they spend it faster than they make it . Sugar does not cause diabetes it never has and it never will . Diabetes is genetic and what triggers it , is the things that are going on in your life ex: stress , poor nutrition , but we all have the power to maintain a good nutritional balanced lifestyle . I the doctors can convince you that you already have it then it is money in their pockets and kickbacks from the companies that make diabetic medicines . I am a Type 1 diabetic and have been for 26 years and when I was first diagnosed with it my insulin costs was $ 2.99 a vial , now my insulin costs $ 275.00 a vial who is benefiting from that cost increase , and the companies that produce these products could care less about your health , they are more concerned about the health of their bank accounts , and why cure a disease when you can make a living from treating it , thats why now we have type 2 diabetes because it is easier to convince people that they have it and it is more lucrative to sell you all of the products that come with that diagnosis .http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d47c4ecad040e55fc37c1Michelle HubbardFri, 09 May 2014 17:25:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d47c4ecad040e55fc37c1
All president's wives have to have an agenda. Remember the pathetic 'Just say No' campaign of the 1980's? It was popular to join in the 'fight' against drugs. Now, it's obesity, because so many American kids are ridiculously overweight. Mrs. Obama is doing the president's wife thing and putting her name to a campaign that is not political--like all the president's wives did. If I were here, I wouldn't care what other people's kids eat. If you don't care what your kids eat then why should she? I am sure she really doesn't and I don't blame her.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d3df169bedd0a1f4450dcFrom Cayman IslandsFri, 09 May 2014 16:43:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536d3df169bedd0a1f4450dc

Milanesa meat? Empanada has little to do with Milanesa. The former is a turnover of pastry filled with chopped or ground meat, onion, potatoes (or not), etc., and usually baked or fried (right of the photo). Milanesa in Argentina is an Italian recipe ("cotoletta alla milanese") adapted by inmigrants descendents made with a thin cut of meat (veal) dipped in egg, covered in bread crumbs (best if flavored with chopped garlic and parsley) and fried.
So, in Argentina we have no "Empanadas of Milanesa meat"... Our kids at school may have "empanadas" or "milanesas" but it is unusual to serve both together.

I've got to say that some of those lunches sound delicious. I wonder how much they cost, because I dare say they're a cheaper option than the health problems that come with poor eating. Healthier lunches for kids sounds like a great idea (although the implementation leaves something to be desired), but there's truly not anything you can do to force the students to eat it. A gradual change would've been a far more intelligent move. Too bad politics got involved. If lunches looked more like, say, Seattle's pictures above and tasted how they looked, there'd be fewer problems. However, Seattle...I don't know how to break it to you, but grilled cheese sandwiches should never, ever be put in a plastic wrapper. That has to count as some sort of desecration.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536bf1dd6bb3f737436cd649Jan HartThu, 08 May 2014 17:06:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536bf1dd6bb3f737436cd649
Did you see Tony Bourdain's recent "Parts Unknown" show when he had lunch in a school cafeteria in France? The kids were seated at tables and were

I just looked at my daughters school lunch and spot on, same as when I was in school, just garbage top to bottom. I posted the next 3 weeks of food.

Just looked at my daughter's lunch menu for comparison. This is a high end public school and here's the entre selections for the next 3 weeks:
Enchilada or Roasted Chicken
Chicken Burger or Garden Burger
Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza
Hamburger or Garden Burger
Crispy or Soft Tacos or Turkey and Cheese Melt
Turkey and Gravy or Steak Sticks
Bean & Cheese Burrito or Stuffed Baked Potato
Fish Burger or Cheese Sandwich
Chicken Tenders or Chef Salad
Chicken Burger or Sweet & Sour Chicken
Spaghetti & Meatballs
Pizza Dippers or Tuna Salad in Pita Bread
Hamburger or Garden Burger
Chicken Tenders or Meat Loaf
Crispy or Soft Tacos or Bean Burrito
Just appalling how awful of a menu this is. High fat, high carb, and only one 1 of 14 days even offers a salad. It's not just that nearly every day offers unhealthy food, it's that with meals like this, there's no chance for children to learn any beneficial eating habits at school. Judging by how often people eat fast food or just eat out, there's a lot of kids that aren't learning how to eat healthy at all.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536bb89769bedd243633ed15Just A GuyThu, 08 May 2014 13:02:15 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536bb89769bedd243633ed15
A sandwich, an apple and a milk is hardly an appetizer. I start with tortilla chips and a creamy artichoke and imitation crab dip, followed by a nice 8-10 oz. sirloin with melted blue cheese on top and splattered with A1 steak sauce, a fat baked potatoe with sour cream, butter, chives, cheese, and bacon bits, two 20 ounce craft beers, and then I'm nice and full, for about two hours and then i need to eat again.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536bb8706da8117f3833ed1dCyn_Thu, 08 May 2014 13:01:36 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536bb8706da8117f3833ed1d

Pretty sure the CAFETERIA STAFF can request better lunch choices from the SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION who intern can order better food that will still fall within the guidelines. Granted it will cost more, and we will therefore need to INCREASE SCHOOL FUNDING which the public (or at least republicans, since they're all for reduced funding to schools) seem to be against.
But hey, let's continue to ignore the obese elephant in the room. Let's blame Michele Obama, cuz you know, it's an Obama instead of the (probably overweight) school admin board that thinks Low Calories = Stripping meals / Starving children. /End Rant

Straight up fact Americans , that LAST WOMAN Michelle Obama is on a Minnie Mouse Trip .

Michelle truly is consistent to an elementary and SCHOOL GIRL LIKE MENTALITY . It is no wonder that there is NO PROGRESS in America under the negligent misguidance of Barack and Michelle Obama .http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536b38526da811e563733f24FED UPThu, 08 May 2014 03:54:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536b38526da811e563733f24
Instead of less food for are kids at lunch,How about they serve food not loaded down with steroids, hormones, & dyes. All the junk added to food now days it's no wonder so many are getting fat.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536b2f4669bedd321e3ba1c7SpunkyBunksThu, 08 May 2014 03:16:22 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536b2f4669bedd321e3ba1c7
Burgers, pizza and fries, that's how it was when I went to school. Now that school lunches have been reformed by Mrs. Obama, they did an article in the local paper how the kids are complaining that the whole wheat tortillas are not as good as the regular tortillas. Boo hoo! I live in New Mexico. The kids here are fat.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536b1fe06da811cd74733f2eernst blofeldThu, 08 May 2014 02:10:40 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536b1fe06da811cd74733f2e
The Seattle lunch is clearly a work of fiction.
A true American school lunch would be: cheeseburgers, pizza, french fries and donuts, all deep fried in bacon grease.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536b07a3eab8ea3f3656cf46artful dodgerThu, 08 May 2014 00:27:15 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536b07a3eab8ea3f3656cf46
Lunch in Seattle looks like the kind of stuff you might get when you order food on a flight (sitting in coach, of course). I guess they assume everyone will be working at Boeing, so they should eat like they're inside of planeshttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/536afdf369beddd75a3ba1c7RadariderWed, 07 May 2014 23:45:55 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536afdf369beddd75a3ba1c7
My grandmother taught school in a one-room rural southwest Kansas (Finney County) school house during the 1930’s dust bowl and the dark days of WWII. She would prepare an iron crock of beans the night before, take them in to school and then cook them on the coal burning stove. This was lunch for her dozen or so students and most likely the only hot nutritious meal of the day.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536afd83eab8ea701256cf4eRadariderWed, 07 May 2014 23:44:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536afd83eab8ea701256cf4e

We don't hate you guys, far from it. We did have a bit of an issue with the Bush administration and a few of your world politics/economics. But the people perse have not much or little say in that in reality. This said, we do have a thing or two to say about food :) but that really is friendly and in no way aggressive. We're teasing by nature and some people take that as aggressivity we are only being misunderstood lol :Dhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/536ad9f169beddce5d3ba1c7Not that GuyWed, 07 May 2014 21:12:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536ad9f169beddce5d3ba1c7

This is soooo NOT the correct representation of a Lunch box from India. India is so diverse across its 28 states, you cant possibly sum up the kind of food it gives its kids for lunch. As a kid I usually got Wheat flat breads, vegetables, yogurt and lentils for lunch. Veges, carbs and protein laden lentils are a must in any Indian lunch.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536ac444ecad04e449fb3b21Gerald93-Wed, 07 May 2014 19:39:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536ac444ecad04e449fb3b21
I don't want to feed our kids salmon for lunch unless the parents pay up for it, if the kid has $6.99 on him he can have the salmon lunch, otherwise he gets a sausage patty and tater tots.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536ab3186da811cf53733f27Queens Born & BredWed, 07 May 2014 18:26:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536ab3186da811cf53733f27
NYC divides people. Some could not live anywhere else. Some see it as hell on earth. If you're among the latter, don't wait. I left almost a decade ago. Nowhere is perfect but there's lots of nice areas in the US, and the world. Move out while you've still got some life in you, friend.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536aaca56da811f532539a65TravestyWed, 07 May 2014 17:59:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536aaca56da811f532539a65
American school lunches are a travesty. It's worse than third world here in New York City. Styrofoam trays with greasy slopp. Totally disgusting. New York is a mess. Complete rathole. Can't wait to retire out of this hell hole. Most areas look like war ravaged communist cities. Queens and the Bronx are devastated hell holes. The infrastructure is on its last leg. Building fires kill new families every night and busted pipes and train signal problems paralyze the city weekly.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536aa40f69bedd6008d26827Just A GuyWed, 07 May 2014 17:22:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536aa40f69bedd6008d26827

You see they eat on real plates? They have silverware and glasses. I can't say the French have everything dialed in, but in this case it seems they have some true civilization. Here I am eating a salad at my desk with a plastic fork out of a plastic container. This is why the French hate Americans. And maybe they are right. Not everything should boil down to price.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536a909b6bb3f77c6109b1fchypcocritesWed, 07 May 2014 15:59:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/536a909b6bb3f77c6109b1fc

Those kids are eating too much! Give them cake! But only cake without sugar or flavor. They do need to stay healthy after all.
